he watched. the breeze freshened lit

ABusiness Education.

There should be no iooling about
education. The best is none too good
for any body, and few dollars, more
or less, should not be permitted to
weigh against young mans entire
future. The probabilities are that the
best schools charge the highest rates
for tuition, and yet they are the
cheapest 10 the end. Private schools,
as a rule, do not charge too much for
instruction, for they would get no
patronage. People who have plenty
of money to spend don't mean TO
throw 1t away, even on education and
80 fair price for tuition means gsnu-
inc instruction. Especially should
the last school which boy attends be
goo1 one-good as to its positive
training, and good as to lis moral in
fuence. There is no school in which
it is possible to mould a boy-in
which there is such necessity for
moulding him aright-as business
school. Not only are facilities at hand,
and the conditions favorable, but
there is sort of expectance which it
is cruel not to meet. A business school,
to answer its true purpose, should be
the most practical and sensible school
in the world. 1t should be exacting
as to work and discipline, and unwa-
vering as to 'principle-a school that
will ever live in the students men o.
ry as having established him, not only
in business habits, but business in
tegrity.
1t is upon these principals that Mel
sons Business College, No. 5 M adison
street lie, founded. The aim of this
institution ia to inculcate in its stu
dents habits OF morality, business in
tegrity and sobriety; to teach them
accurate methods of thinking; to de-
velop their Judgment. 10 its course
of study, nothing can be found that is
not eminently practical and suitable
to the times. In bookkeeping its
patrons leai the practice OF the most
progressive accountants; in calcula-
tions, the shortest practical me hods;
in penmsnship, they are taught beau
ty of form as we'll as rspidity of exc
cution; they learn the principles OF
commercial law by practicing them;
in short hand they learn a standard
system; instructions on the Reming-
ton type writer accompanies this
study These are few points that
parents, who are looking for a place
to educate their so ms and daughters,
should consider.
